DRAPERY-FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 23, 1907.

Application filed July 10, 1905. Serial No. 263,950.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, 'lHoMAs F. BYRON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented a new and useful Drapery-Fixture, of which the following is a lspecification.

My invention relates particularly to drapery fixtures adapted for use inconnection with dressers, and the like; and my primaryobject is toprovide cheap and simple fixtures which may be readily employed withoutinjury to the chamber walls.

My invention is illustrated in its prefeired embodiment in theaccompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a broken perspective view ofa dresser and drapery fixtures designed for use in connection therewith;Fig. 2, a perspective view of one portion of the hanger shown in Fig. l,in reversed position; and Fig. 3, a broken rear perspective view of thedresser and one of the bracket arms connected therewith.

In the drawing, A represents a dresser equipped with standards Asupporting a mirror A B, a pair of bracket arms connected with thestandards A; B a hanger having an adjustable bracket-arm B and Bdrapery, or a throw, supported by the bracket-arms B, B

Each bracket-arm B comprises a forwardly projecting arm b terminating inan ornamental end I), and an inturned end b forming substantially aright-angle with the arm b. Each arm b is provided with a series ofscrew-receiving perforations b and each arm is connected with a standardA by screws 1). Each arm I) is provided with nicks, or cuts, 1),enabling the arm to be broken off so as not to interfere with the mirrorwhen the bracket-arms B are adjusted to lessen:the distance betweenthem.

The hanger comprises preferably a bar I) equipped at its upper end witha hook I) and provided with a plurality of perforations b and thebracket B having a horizontal member b and a brace member b The memberI) has an ornamental front end I) and is equipped at its rear end with aloop b slidable upon the vertical member I). The brace member b has avertical portion b at its lower inner end which is adapted to bearagainst the vertical member b and which is equipped with a stud 1)adapted to enter any desired one of the perforations b Thus, readyadjustment of the bracket B is provided for. In the illustration shown,the hook b is shown in engagement with the molding C of a chamber wall.However, the member b may be supported on a hook, or it may be securedat its lower end by means of screws to the upper portion of the mirrorframe.

It will be observed that different effects in the drapery may be securedby adjusting the brackets B and the bracket B with relation to eachother.

What I regard as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A hanger for the purpose set forth, comprising a vertical memberprovided at its upper end with a molding hook and having a plurality ofperforations, and a bracket comprising a horizontal member slidablyconnected with said vertical member and a brace-member having a pinadapted to enter any desired perforation.
